How to Hide Google’s AI Overviews on Search Results

AI Overviews

As you may already know, AI Overviews are summaries that appear at the top of Google search results and provide an answer to your query. For example, if you search for “What Is Self Storage,” you’ll see an AI Overview explaining what self-storage is.

While AI Overviews can be a good source of quick answers, there have been many cases where they provide inaccurate information. To hide AI Overviews from your search results, a simple method is to add -ai to your query. For example, when you search for “What is SEO,” you’ll see an AI Overview at the top of the results. When you search for “What is SEO -ai,” the AI Overview will be hidden.
